Jim Geraghty predicts that O will say that he refuses to compromise with Republicans because they’re, er, being obstinate. If, if, Obama is interested in a deal, now’s the time to pay some lip service to all sides of the O-Care debate for having made their points eloquently and to urge them to move expeditiously towards funding the government. If, however, Obama’s more interested in a shutdown — and lots of Democrats are, since they think they’ll win big politically from it — then now’s the moment for him to take a dump on the GOP, angering Republicans and giving tea partiers new reason to pound the table against reaching any compromises with The One. Let’s see Boehner negotiate his way out of that one.

The Daily Mail Online has analyzed the numbers and discovered that among U.S. political figures, the four Twitter accounts with the most fake followers — that is, followers who don’t really exist — are those of Barack Obama (by a landslide), Joe Biden, Michelle Obama, and the White House communications department. …

Obama is the fake leader of a fake political philosophy. In this role, he has fronted the fight to establish a single-payer healthcare system by gradual steps — exactly as he promised to do before he was president — but explicitly denied that this was his intention. He has overseen the growth of the U.S. federal debt to economic meltdown proportions — exactly as he promised not to do. He has left his representatives in Libya to die in a terrorist attack without lifting a finger to help, then delivered a pro forma statement lamenting their death before heading off to a campaign fundraiser in Las Vegas. He then lied about the cause of the Benghazi attack, as well as about his own initial response to it.

He is the nominal leader of the push to expand rights-violating regulations of personal and commercial behavior in the name of a fake scientific theory — what would you call a theory whose proponents have changed its name, its predictions, and even its fundamental hypothesis? — about a drastic manmade alteration of the planet that the theory’s own advocates admit isn’t actually happening. He was presented to the world as a model of America’s transcendence of racial division, and yet has made more explicit statements designed to instigate racial tensions and hostility than perhaps any previous president. He is the mouthpiece of a political movement that seeks to maintain comprehensive records of every human being’s telephone and electronic communications, health condition, daily habits, sexual activity, and whereabouts — and yet objects to demands that people provide identification before voting, on the grounds that this is unnecessarily intrusive and intimidating.

He has supported the Muslim Brotherhood, a fake religious organization dedicated to the destruction of representative government, Western civilization, freedom of speech, and women, and an organization that has just been outlawed (again) in its home country, even while Obama was demanding its “equal” participation in that country’s political reconfiguration — a reconfiguration necessitated by the Muslim Brotherhood’s own attempt to entrap the country in the box of sharia law.

What people think of the law depends on what you call it. If you ask them about the “Affordable Care Act,” they disapprove by 39%-55%. If you ask them about Obamacare, they disapprove by 34%-60%. (So much for Obama’s magic political touch.)

After the research I did last night, I’m not sure I am going to bother with insurance at all. I only had it in case we got cancer or something. Now they have to insure me if I do, so why throw away money?

I hope the insurance companies hold on until we can repeal.

ON the other hand, if we repeal and I don’ get insurance then they won’t promise to cover me.

I just hope someone has figured out how to make sure Obama is blamed and he doesn’t get away with his usual routine.

Best play for House is to hammer on the waiver issue for federal employees – if it doesn’t take for the CR, there will be favorable spillover to the debt ceiling vote. It takes 10 times the effort to break thru the MSM w a sensible GOP message.

The absurd “solution” on Syria tremendously weakened the GOP on budget matters.

I don’t blame you for being absolutely livid with him or the first lady *throws up in mouth a little*, but would it be better for them to live long, healthy lives only to see all the garbage they tried to pull on this great nation utterly discarded in disgrace? He could mewl on in his dotage a la Jimmuh.

And the MSM has already been given their talking points to help continue this narrative to the masses. We’re always one step behind.
“A lie makes it half way around the world before the truth puts it’s pants on”.

This man is small, he is petty, he is vindictive, he is a liar. When I heard he was going to hold a press conference I thought it was going to go exactly as it did. In the history of the United States I can safely say that no President has been more ill suited to the office than this one. He is a professional rabble rouser and I bet that if we were ever to get a glimpse of his college records it would be a disgrace. He is uneducated but slick, in other words a very convincing snake oil salesman. It is a shame but his base are ill educated, ill informed cretans who believe everything he says. The only reason he hasn’t been impeached is because he is black and the Republicans have no cojones. At this point all I can hope for is kharma. It is bad enough that he, Reid, Pelosi, the whole stinking bunch get their way without a fight but to rub salt into a raw wound like this press conference did is beyond the pale. I HATE the whole bunch of them but if the Repubs don’t do something then a pox on both houses!
